Niagara Icewine Festival & Spectacular Falls

About Your Trip

Raise a glass and celebrate one of Canada’s finest treasures — ice wine (locally called icewine), a delicious dessert-style wine made from frozen grapes. Over 2 days during Niagara Icewine Festival, you’ll sip your way through Niagara-on-the-Lake and the surrounding Niagara Region, visiting 8 wineries to discover local varietals, including icewine, which is produced in only a few regions in the world!

And the fun doesn’t stop there! Your flavorful adventure also includes the remarkable Journey Behind the Falls experience and a delectable lunch. Starting at Table Rock Welcome Centre, you’ll descend by elevator to an observation deck for your first vantage point of Horseshoe Falls. With anticipation building — thanks to the roar of cascading water in the distance — you’ll walk through a tunnel behind the Falls to a cave entrance offering a full-on view of falling sheets of water.

Your second winery tour includes a visit to the lively Clifton Hill area for a ride on Niagara SkyWheel, a large observation wheel above Niagara Falls. As you rotate, you’ll marvel at the views in all directions from a fully enclosed gondola that rises to 175 feet (53 meters). Afterward, you’ll indulge in a pastry shaped like a beaver tail — a uniquely Canadian treat!

Back at your hotel, you can try your luck at the casino, treat yourself to a spa treatment or sip on cocktails at Spyce Lounge. Before your stay is over, make your way to The Watermark Restaurant or Myst Lounge — both on the 33rd floor — to take in panoramic views of Niagara Falls.

What we love:• Ice wine can only be made in areas with below-freezing temperatures, since grapes cannot be harvested until the thermometer reaches a sustained 17 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 8 degrees Celsius). • Niagara Falls is made up of 3 waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Your hotel faces the famed Horseshoe Falls, the most powerful North American waterfall with the highest waterfall flow rate in the world. • The wine-producing region of Niagara-on-the-Lake, less than 2 hours from downtown Toronto, features more than 20 wineries within a picturesque landscape.• To maximize your enjoyment, download the DreamTrips™ app to access DreamTrips Local — then earn points on dining, entertainment, spa experiences & more at select spots recommended by DreamTrippers just like you!

Destination

Horseshoe Falls is the largest waterfall of the trio that comprises Niagara Falls. Its 165-foot (50-meter) vertical drop causes the thundering roar and plumes of mist for which the falls are famous. At its highest flow, more than 6 million cubic feet (169,901 cubic meters) of water rush over the crest of the falls each minute, making Niagara Falls the most powerful geological feature in North America.

Tourists enjoy taking small boat trips to see the falls up close and trying their luck in the area’s many casinos. Other popular activities include wine tours of the regional vineyards and seeing breathtaking scenes of the falls from observation decks.
